Hands free cycling, shadow selfie.

The child is alive in there somewhere...

Am not sure whether I am more impressed with your photography skills or the fact you can ride no handed. A skill at the age of 50 I have never managed. Great shot and idea.

[Richard Sayer]

Nice whimsical image John - what I like best is that the perspective distortion of the shadow makes it look as if you are riding a penny-farthing bicycle!

[Lynne]

Funny, I did almost this same shot (but I was actually riding) for my self-portrait in a class. Nicely done.

[HelenM]

Very original. The handlebars seem curiously disconnected from you and the reflection. Great composition

[Shari]

You are a brave man! Great capture.

[Sue]

Blimey! Very impressive, both in bicycle skills and also composition of the shot.Great image

[Liz jones]

Great concept - the shadow is very dramatic.

[Katrina]

Nicely done. I would have ended up in a pile on the road.

[Paula]

Great capture with the shadow!

[Gemma]

Very cool!

[Babs]

Fabulous shot, you are very brave.

[vstap]

Ah, the joys of carefree childhood!

[Elytra]

Creative portrait and shadow shot!

[Barb]

Impressed with both your cycling skills and your photography! cool shot!

[Masquerade]

Well caught - a sense of danger!

[Dyan Stevens]

Great shot! Pretty sure I would have fallen over.

[Layla de Villiers]

excellent

[Clare Gadsby]

Never been able to do this and I can't see me learning it now. Fab shot!

[Jonathan Darrell]

Great shot and processing. The sharpness and distorted length of the shadow give a surreal feeling.

[Nova]

You brave man. It's been years since I been on a bike, as my kid refused to ride, so I did not have to either. Great selfie shadow. :)

[Ukandie!]

Love this and agree with @vignouse the shadow looks like a penny-farthing. There was a hill in the village that i grew up where you had to ride down with out touching the handle bars too be considered one of the big kids. Oh how times have changed!
